Federal Debt

I find it odd that some politicians continually tell us the only way to solve the federal debt problem is to increase taxes. Isn’t that the same as telling a fireman the best way to put out a fire is to toss a can of gasoline on the blaze? A better solution would be to cut taxes even further, and then complain about the debt level even more, forcing the federal government to cut spending. People who feel the government has a responsibility to carry them along in some way, could turn to their respective state governments for help as an alternative.
